Help
I have a Desktop running windows Vista and the log off/shutdown process takes forever. I tried using a program called quick shutdown. it works incredibly good and shuts the computer off in 3 seconds. Is there anything negative that could happen by using this program or the PC turning off so quick. So Far I have been using it for a few days and everything seems okay. Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks for the heads-up on this program, I've never heard of it 
Since it has been praised by TopShareware and Softpile, I think it is completely safe.

Don't mind me, I'm just lurking.

Let me advise you here that even if it seems safe, it is not.
DATA is stored permanently on to a hard drive. When Shut down initializes, (after you go to Start>Shut Down), it tells each program to quit. The programs quit if they are responding to the system and are ready to end. If a program says hold on, then the OS must hold on until the data is written in to storage. It could take a few seconds to finish itself -- delaying shutdown. Essentially, doing a quick shutdown, like one or two seconds, is similar to improper shutdown or force shutdown. Force shutdown can damage Windows components, and through time, render the OS unbootable.
edit: Also, speeding up the normal shutdown cycle can give your computer a sense of disk damage, and may enable Automatic CHKDSK at every boot up!
